Euripides probably never envisioned one of his Greek choruses breaking out into a hip-hop dance routine.

But in “Iphigenia 2.0,” Charles Mee’s modernized adaptation of the classic “Iphigenia at Aulis,” dancing soldiers take the place of the traditional chorus, forcing their commander into an unthinkable decision.

Agamemnon (Eric Harrison), bowing to the demands of his men, agrees to offer up his daughter Iphigenia (Lauren Bowler) as a sacrifice to prove that he understands the costs of war.

“One of the major dramatic questions is, is this feasible?” director Stephen Crandall said. “We’re trying to portray Agamemnon as a current political leader. Would he be willing to make that kind of decision in today’s world, and would it be accepted?”

“It’s a ‘much more’ extreme version of any decision a young adult could be asked to make by her parent, “ Bowler said.

The play itself calls for a much more extreme form of stagecraft.

“I’ve never been in a show like this before,” said Bowler, a freshman in her first lead performance at WT.

“It’s structured in a way that kind of gives an inside look at what each character is thinking at that moment.”
